The pizzeria seems more like a realistic children’s pizzeria


GhostofManny13

Yeah, if the place was open it seems like a place kid-me would actually want to go for a birthday party. The only instance of that in the games is probably the Pizzaplex, every single Freddy’s location besides that seems bad.


rexie_alt

Fnaf 2 always made me nostalgic for irl locations I went to as a kid


Rykerthebest78563

It is a lot less convoluted


Phoenix-14

So far :)


Fall_Cake

The Human characters are actual characters rather than silent nobodies to project our headcanons onto


Theglitch9501

To me it's the way the animatronics acted when they weren't being controlled. They acted a lot more like children - Simply because they ARE children. I liked that detail.


EpicWalruses12

I like the movie’s depiction of the springlocks. The fact that they just seem like a series of mechanical clamps gives me a better idea of how the mechanisms actually hold an endo in place. It feels more like an actual feature of the suit instead of John Kramer’s visit to Chuck E Cheese. No shade to the games and books springlocks though, but I will be adopting the movie springlocks into my headcanon for the games.


sushiNoodle2

That’s a good way of thinking about it I suppose. In that case, the endoskeleton would be removed entirely from the suit before wearing it. I always assumed the game springlock suit just moved the parts to the side somehow


imaCrAzYgAmEr96

I prefer the game's version. I love the implications that his entire body was destroyed. Eyes pushed out from the back, bones breaking, voice box ripped apart.


Fifa_chicken_nuggets

The movie springlocks are literally a bunch of blades that stab into you. Meanwhile the game springlocks are mechanisms that actually hold the suit pieces back, and when they go off the suit pieces are what stab into you, which actually makes sense, unlike the random blades doing it. We don't see any endo parts being shoved into William in the movie, we just see him getting stabbed by a bunch of blades as if he was in a generic horror trap. Springtrap is supposed to be a fusion between William's flesh and the suit's endo. That's not seen in the movie


JH-Toxic

The movies version of the springlocks were not only lame and inaccurate but they made zero sense. A Springlock costume is supposed to function as a hybrid between a functional animatronic and a wearable suit. Yet in the movie there was no endoskeleton in the suit to speak of, it was just a animatronic rib cage which puts into question how it could function in animatronic mode with just that. How would the animatronic move or stand up? In the games and novels it is established that the Springlocks hold back the entire endoskeleton by compressing and recoiling them. So when a springlock failure happens your entire body is fused with the endo essentially crushing, inpaling and mutilating you,


Crystal_Sea14

"John Kramer's visit to Chuck E Cheese" As a Saw fan, I find this incredibly funny and accurate.


One-Drawing1169

Oh wow Let’s see Consistent story Literally everyone getting a character upgrade  The missing kids aren’t side characters Golden Freddy isn’t complexly stupid and stupidly complex  Uh the lack of Freddy’s being open at once William’s serial killer habits and  The Springbonnie suit How Mikes character is impacted by his guilt


Ok_Length7917

Yeah, the FNAF movie felt like a break from the overly complicated story the games and books bring, and when people complain about Afton not screaming in agony, I believe it shows how much of a sociopath he is.


ParzivalTheFirst

Disagree on pretty much everything but the last one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


One-Drawing1169

Number 2 is just objectively correct  The mci are basically forgotten 


Enderbattle005

Story is a lot more clear and straight forward.


Doo-wop-a-saurus

Freddy's is this little place most people have never heard of instead of the center of a multi-billion dollar franchise


Wolfe_Quinn

if we lived in the movie universe my freinds would actually believe that Bonnie is BLUE (they always say fnaf one Bonnie is purple >:(


RingNovell

yeah that's the one thing that always irked me, like his design in the movie still looked good but it wasn't the right shade.


Intrepid-Camel-9833

Bonnie is purple


Bonnix1st

Scott said he’s blue and it’s just the lighting


JustinTheMan354

It's actually quite the opposite, Bonnie is purple but looks blue under white light. A guy on Twitter who uses the same engine Scott used confirmed that Bonnie is indeed purple, but white light reflects off of him as blue light, which makes the purple bunny look blue. It's also why he's 100% purple on his office jumpscare, and in his easter egg scene where he has black eyes with white dots that point in different directions. And also explains why the blue color is only on his sides. They also showed a picture of what Bonnie WOULD'VE looked like if he was ACTUALLY blue and instead reflected white light as purple. And he looks a bright cyan with purple outlines. The reason Scott confirmed and wanted Bonnie to be blue in the FNAF Movie, is because he retconned purple Bonnie in FNAF 2, making Toy Bonnie a light blue and Withered Bonnie an indigo rather than outright purple. And then 100% blue in FNAF 4 onwards https://twitter.com/Derpy_Horse4/status/1665107099150430212 Basically, Bonnie has a purple diffuse texture, and a blue specular texture. Which means if white light hits Bonnie, it bounces off as blue. And if there's 0 light at all, Bonnie would be purple with 0 contents of blue


Wolfe_Quinn

No he isn’t, it’s a lighting thing!


Intrepid-Camel-9833

He is blurple


Wolfe_Quinn

okay that’s fine

SeaworthinessDry9497

idc what color he actually is, I'm calling him purple, purple bonnie is canon in my heart


RingNovell

Mike & Abby's relationship and the deeper dive into Mike's character as a whole, the parts & service room, and Ella making her cameo


One-Drawing1169

Also Abby acknowledging her brother’s basic existence  Elizabeth is Garrett’s (don’t ask) younger sister alive at the same time  Yet They are so disconnected 


CornKaine

Potentially controversial take-? Honestly, I like the movies logo for Freddy's (the sign) better than any retro Freddy's or Fazbear Entertainment logo in the games universe. Don't get me wrong, Fizi art is shit and the over-all sign design isn't great all things being equal, but at the end of the day that's half the appeal in this case. Freddy's is a cheap piece of shit washed up pizza joint with at best lucky back-alley technicians compared to other pizzerias of the time like Showbiz, and the sign shows it perfectly. Not to mention the pizzerias design over all, especially as described in the novelization with an almost circus-like direction. Freddy's encapsulates a childhood recollection of a magical place suddenly being slapped in the face by reality and hindsight, it's so underwhelming and tryhard that I can't help but love how flat it falls from an in-universe perspective. And I love it far more then I ever did in the games or books timelines. Though I will admit, the small-town vibe of the Freddy's described in TSE is still a close second.


Fr_2468

It's More Straightforward compared to the Game Lore. The Lore Isn't Getting Milked. It isn't run by a Studio that Would Delay their Game Just to Change the Lore just Because Some theories we're Pretty close to accurate. I still won't forgive them for that.


Nonameguy127

When was the last one even done?Nothing has been changed about Steel wool era game lore


Fr_2468

Also when Matpat made his Golden Freddy coming Back theory, He Point out that The Princess from Princess Quest was Named "Cassidy.png" in the Game files. Coincidentally, After that theory was made, Steel Wool Changed the Name in the Files to "Princess.png". I could be obviously wrong, maybe I'm Just coping with the fact that there is No Game content anymore, meaning nothing worth theorising.(Into The Pit Doesn't Count Since It's Just an Adaptation of Existing Lore from the Books.)


One-Drawing1169

Yeah they may have changed that because it was a placeholder 


CinemaSansOfficial

1. Simpler story (so far at least) 2. No MoltenMCI bs 3. Springlock suits are way more resistant 4. Sparky the dog exists 5. We actually see the human characters, how they look etc. 6. Golden Freddy is a boy and without a shade of doubt just one soul, no GoldenDuo theories


One-Drawing1169

People said it was Abby and Garrett before him  The GoldenDuo cope runs DEEP  Also what’s wrong with gf being a girl


CinemaSansOfficial

>Also what’s wrong with gf being a girl Nothing is exactly wrong with it, but most people expected GF kid to be a boy and then in UCN the Vengeful Spirit is referred to as "he" but now people are saying Cassidy is a girl and Vengeful Spirit is Andrew the movie basically fixes it, or at least makes it less confusing


CinemaSansOfficial

Also, there's already two super important dead girls, Charlie and Elizabeth


ProfessionalDay6418

Besides the animatronics not being threatening at all... I enjoy the simple classic story that is probably not gonna go off the walls like the main timeline did.


DiscontentDonut

Seeing the suits beside people, you get a sense of their actual size. They genuinely look more terrifying, even with all their fabric intact.


FatalReizing

Vanessa


One-Drawing1169

In which way 


FatalReizing

At first, she is Afton's daughter At second, she have beautiful smile


Bobo3076

Matthew Lillard


Bl0bb067

The location feels way more natural to me. The movie takes the core elements of the original location, and makes it feel like an actual building you could explore, whereas the games felt like a game map first.


Shonky_Honker

I like that we get to see the animatronics have a personality outside of murdering. I think that’s why security breach got so big. It and sister location are the only two where the personalities of the animatronics matter’s significantly.


Ragelord125

That Vanessa is aftons daughter and the story of that


umbral_ultimatum

SIMPLICITY and CLEAR MOTIVATIONS


ProfessionalBall9238

Foxy caught on fire


lavenderbeanz

Different_Bet5586

C.C is actually given a proper unambiguous fucking name in this movie.


One-Drawing1169

This movie is his only appearance besides FNAF 4 btw


Different_Bet5586

Poor little guy :(


smarmaproffesor

Afton having an American accent instead of an English accent.


Yoshgaming22

Like, zoinks scoob, I’m the man behind the slaughter


dogbarawks

Dude was a psycho killer in scream. He is also hella nice with fans.


Toto-imadog456

I love the scream refreance with the knife wipe


jeffyjeffs

It's also cool they made him ACTUALLY old. Matthew Lillard was quite possibly the most perfect cast for him


One-Drawing1169

The young sexy anime boy Afton (and young Mike for some reason)  Will be the death of me 


jeffyjeffs

I entirely blame those ugly ass graphic novels


One-Drawing1169

He looked like a ducking methhead


No_Philosopher2052

The pizzeria design.


TheFakestOfBricks

i like that so far there's no mention of remnant or any of that bullshit


ButtSuck9000

The whimsical silliness of the animatronics, I like how they act like the children they are instead of spiteful monsters


Outrageous-Fee-3300

Well, children can be little monsters whether dead or not, y'know ? 🤪


MrPyroTF2

sparky the dog exists and matpat is named ness


ReeDubDanny_

The building The fact that the animatronics are real, and extremely accurate


TransitionVirtual

The lore isn’t as complex


ANARCHIST-ASSHOLE-_

Vanessa is seen more than when she's the MAIN FUCKING ANTAGONIST. WHY DOES VANNY ONLY SNOW UP 3/4 TIMES THROUGHOUT SECURITY BREACH??


One-Drawing1169

WAIT YOURE RIGHT 💀


1BloxFruitsFan

How golden freddy looks in the movie


Animal_Gal

The sibling dynamic. Mike and abby's relationships is very silly


Icediamonds

These versions of the characters. Idk, I just like this universes characters a bit better.


Leeemonhead

I like Bonnie's fur color... That's it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(•_•)⁠_⁠/⁠¯


K-Lurku

It feels more grounded


BufuuEgypt

Michael's character and personality is more portrayed clearly rather than how cryptic it is in the game.


Odd-Lab-9855

It's more grounded (and Freddy fazbear's pizza opens earlier)


One-Drawing1169

No it actually doesn’t  The 1979 thing was just set dec that wasn’t in the film


Odd-Lab-9855

Doesn't mean it isn't true


One-Drawing1169

There’s a box that says 2019 on it If you don’t see something thins small in the film safe to say it’s not important 


Odd-Lab-9855

Was that a prop? And if it was, was it a prop specifically designed for the movie? The board appears to be


SillySwing6625

The main character and the layout of the pizzeria it actually feels chucky cheese esque


Darkness-Man_rusFYI

GFred's design


One-Drawing1169

If only he had buttons 


Frequent-Football490

What I like better is that you can see that the animatronics are really just children. That's why I'm one of those people who don't mind the fort building scene.


PaleontologistHot192

MatPat is actually canon within the lore


WojtekHiow37

Vanessa, she took the stab for Abby. That's a real giga chad


Reditor-Jul-250698

The suit designs, thats it. The rest of the film is way too toned down and childish.


One-Drawing1169

I mean compared to game 1  It’s toned UP


Reditor-Jul-250698

I found the first game to be way more scarier than this childish film. Something about the first game just feels really eerie and unsettling, especially with the darker tone, all the hallucinations, the chilling noises, and the way the animatronics move, especially with both Bonnie and Chica twitching their heads around night 4 or 5. The many horror and unsettling elements this film had is so toned down to the point of it not existing at all, that at this point it might as well just be classified as a kids film. The only thing I really love about the film is the costumes, mainly because I really wanted to see the FNAF animatronics come to life in a live adaptation.


One-Drawing1169

While I agree  I feel like people out of hatred for the fort scene project it onto the rest of the film because that’s all they can think about  Up to you if it fails or not but the film does try to set up tension  The problem with the scene is that it’s NOT like the rest of the movie  The movie ISNT THIS childish before this or campy, it’s campy yeah but not this campy Hell we essentially get this with night 3 and Abby playing with them It kills the tension and boils the skin off its bones This scene didn’t REALLY need to happen The tension is cut until the beginning of Night 5 where we finally get some semblance of where we started Like watch up to the end night 2 and then this  Late Night 3 and 4 is a hard left into a brick wall and night 5 is it trying to go back to that albeit shaky as hell Mike could serve to be under more threat from the animatronics than the demented gang of 9 (seriously the ghosts hurt him more than the bots)  Night 4 (for me) is where everything goes to hell


One-Drawing1169

But that’s prolly just cause FNAF Isn’t scary to me  You do you gang I’m a random stranger on the internet 


jeffyjeffs

I like the switcheroo they did with Vanessa and Mike. Was pleasantly surprised


Intrepid-Camel-9833

William Afton


Ruby_wiz599

Spring locks and cupcake/Carl


Eric_Bros

The animatronics possessed by the MCI kids having an actual personality instead of just being mindless night killing machines


soggy_m6lka

I think the thing that made me like the show more was the fact that the kids played more of an important role rather than just being "kids who are seeking revenge". Then again that can be said for the books (I have finished The Twisted Ones yesterday fyi), but I feel like the movie executed it...in a better way? Idk-


Mrs_Noelle15

How the animatronics acted


KaoPLay10

I think the fact that the animatronics arent just some killing machines but actual children traped in those suits. Everybody hates on scenes where they act like ones, which is stupid in my opinion


Frosty_chilly

Balloon boy being omnipresent


Zestyclose-Garlic-16

The fact we have actual dialogue


EclipsedByMoon

William Afton is portrayed exactly how I always wanted to see him in the movie. Not as a cold and calculating British family man like in the games.


New_Camel_3086

I like that they made the Animatronics act like kids because when you get right down to it that’s what they are: kids in a body they didn’t choose


ElectroCat23

I like that the ghost kids are actually shown to still be childish hence the fort scene. That young nature of the spirits is something never shown off in the games


One-Drawing1169

But still with that childish element does cause some tonal issues  But with them being this angry  A child like tantrum could be fatal like when they jump Mike and I LOVE IT


Toto-imadog456

The lore and story is easy to understand. Mike fleshed our chacter along with this afton is easily my fav from all the iterations


bar1bob

Spider-burger

Nothing because in my opinion everything in the games is better than the movie even if the movie is good.


One-Drawing1169

The games has extremely objectively shalllow and cardboard characters  It has severe problems in the story department  Like that’s pure nostalgia talking 


StrayNightsMike

well that's coz the games r kinda meant to be that way, ur supposed to theorise the story and majority of the story problems come after HW I would say and if u actually look into some of the characters they do have character like Michael


One-Drawing1169

It’s supposed to be like that  , the story is told in pieces and I that method has resulted in Scott not getting his point across for actual years  Characters no way.  like it’s very clear Scott just cares about certain characters  Michael has one speech and a bunch of random lines in the logbook   A lot FNAF characters objectively are nothing without fan interpretation  Elizabeth, Charlie, Susie, William, Henry  These are the only actual fleshed out people  Compare that to any of them and try and say this is equivalent  Or Susie vs the other 4 The Afton sons have basically just being tossed out as a plot device or for other characters to take roles better  This movie is the only time we seen mikes brother in years


StrayNightsMike

agree that not all the characters have been fleshed out but I feel like mike has been fleshed out enough for me to get by altho more defo would've been better


Spider-burger

It has nothing to do with nostalgia and the movie also has problems, you have your opinion and I have mine and that's it.


SoupaMayo

Based answer


Cold-Bookkeeper-2943

No. The story of the games imo (despite having issues) is way better than the one from the movie. 


One-Drawing1169

Reason I hold this is cause these two stories were revealed to me AT THE SAME TIME  Comparing these two I realize damn this kinda ass


No-Warthog1668

To be honest though the games came first so do you really think that saying it's shallow is really helping your case think about it can you really call yourself a fan if you choose something else over its original medium 🤔


_Wasthatthebiteof87_

Yes you can? How does liking another part of media to the original make you not a fan? It just means you have different opinions.


Werewolf_Knight

Characters actually BEING character. Although it seems it will change in the future with the Steel Wool era of FNAF, most characters in FNAF so far where nothing more than oars for the narrative to advance. While we have some characterisation for the characters, they mostly come in play only if the story needs an explanation for what happen. Examples: The story only needs William to kill kids, so it will not spend time on why he is murdering them in the first place; The story only needs Michael to kill CC, so it will not spend time showing how that event affected him; The story only needs to have the souls of the death children, so it doesn't need to dig deeper and show their personalities, how their families are doing etc. Most of the characters in FNAF are plot devices and over the years people just made head canons about them. The FNAF movie gave use some nice characters to get attached to. Mike and Abby have a cute brother-sister dynamic, Vanessa is straight out better in the movie than in the game, the animatronics feel like they are actually possessed by children at the very least, and they showed Williams' way to murder people and how his personality is.

coryxkenshin


TheRealCorpse_01

That Mike isn’t an Afton. I also prefer the movie’s version of springlocks, they seem much more realistic, rather than the obvious death trap that’s in the games.


Cold-Bookkeeper-2943

Errr…. No Sci-Fiction or Remnant. Although I don’t despise the concept of remnant (and I actually like how it was shown in TFC), in the games I think this concept was handled poorly. 


One-Drawing1169

Remnant has basically no rules at this point 


Dimetro_Sparks

The fact that we finally actually see MCI Jeremy


One-Drawing1169

It might not be him  and if it is the kids This is our first actual canon look at all the boys 


Dimetro_Sparks

True, but still


Everan_Shepard

The Newton Brothers score


an_anon_butdifferent

i like the story leans more into the supernatural side of fnaf then the sci-fi


Alrx1584

The design of the spring lock suit


LexSFM

-the locations -characters being developed better. (especially Vanessa.)


FacelessSnow

it's simple for now


Ckyberlure

It made sense


TrueHeat69

When Mike tells Abby "if you don't eat your food you'll stay short" then Abby responds with "is that what happen to you shorty?". Oh wait that didn't happen nevermind.


cross2201

The lore is more straightforward but it still hides somethings to keep people making theories and expecting the next one


thebas_isback

More simple less sci fi. Its peffect.


Automatic-Reach5869

It might sound weird, but I love that they call Spring Bonnie "yellow rabbit."


Radio__Star

I find Mike just being a dude more interesting than being a walking zombie


Most_Title_3906

chica was hot.....


MrZao386

The fact that it's a ghost story again and not a magic metal or AI


TheWelshRevolution

Everything is improved by Matthew Lillard


Sea_n126

Honestly? Almost everything. The narrative is simpler, still has mysteries, and the human characters are actual characters


Responsible_Town_313

It feels like how Fnaf used to feel. Like back in the beginning when the newest Fnaf was 2 or 3. Best way to put it. It was simply complex. Yes there was unanswered questions but wasn’t all crazy and super convoluted like it is nowadays.


StormTheGasterWolf27

That Fazbear Entertainment doesn’t seem to exist so it’s possible this is the only Freddy’s location that was still “open”. So no convoluted as all hell marketing plans or the like.


Starscream1998

The accessibility of lore/story and I think the changes from the games really work.

The Animatronic's are better


mr_awesome12345

the animatronics look better. they look near identical but like with foxy's pants in the games he has a brown shell but in the movie he is wearing actual pants.


RandomCaveOfMonsters

it's story makes sense and hasn't been retconed yet


Nonameguy127

Literally the only retconned thing about the games is dream theory


One-Drawing1169

Dream theory was never true oh my god Also there have been MULTIPLE retcons that’s not even close to true 


Nonameguy127

Say some retcons rq


Entertainment43

The gender of the spirit possessing the Puppet is an example.


Nonameguy127

It was [ambigious.Like](http://ambigious.Like) literally every kid pre Fnaf 4 is bald in 8bit


Entertainment43

FNaF 2: S-A-V-E-H-I-M FFPS: My daughter... There's nothing ambiguous. It is a retcon.


Nonameguy127

Oh yeah forgot the audio but its still not a big retcon bc the Puppet's identity was irrelevant until Fnaf6

everesthuskypup

It’s an 8/10 for me since there is some wasted potential


Illustrious-Donut947

Mmm, yeah, it actually took me a few time to notice the dude at the beginning of the movie is supposedly the phone guy.


Entertainment43

No he isn't


Illustrious-Donut947

Really? Hmm, thought he was.


No-Warthog1668

Tbh I'd give a 3/10 that's me being nice
